Financier also grants you the right to create backup and archival copies to the extent reasonably required in the normal operation of your systems. All such copies must include a reproduction of all copyright, trade marks or other proprietary notices contained in the original copy of the Castaway Software.

1.3 You must take reasonable steps to ensure only your Licensed Users may access and use the Castaway Software. You must ensure that any and all Licensed Users of your Castaway Software comply with this EULA.

However,

Financier is not obliged to notify you of, or provide you with any Updated Castaway Software.

6. Licence Fees and payment

6.1 The Licence is granted on a per Licensed User, per terminal server or remote environment (each being deemed a separate “Computer”) basis, not per server / concurrent user.

6.2 Licence Fees are payable per Licensed User, for each Computer on which that Licensed User uses the Castaway Software at any time.

For example:

(a) if one Licensed User uses two different Computers to access the Castaway Software, Licence Fees are payable as if there were two (2) Licensed Users using the Castaway Software;

(b) if two Licensed Users access the Castaway Software at different times, using the same Computer, Licence Fees are payable for both Licensed Users using the Castaway Software; and

(c) if two Licensed Users access the Castaway Software at different times, each using two different Computers, Licence Fees are payable as if there were four (4) Licensed Users using the Castaway Software.

6.3 You are liable for the applicable Licence Fees for the Initial Licence Period and each Renewal Licence Period annually in advance. Financier will specify, or may allow you to select, annual or monthly billing on your User Agreement Form (“Billing Type”). You must pay your Licence Fees to Financier in advance in accordance with your Billing Type. Financier will not activate your Licence until it has received payment of the first instalment of your Licence Fees due according to your Billing Type. You acknowledge that the Licence Fees for each Billing Type may differ to account for the different administrative costs of monthly billing.  Additional Licence Fees are payable where you wish to use the Castaway Software in a commercial data processing bureau or otherwise for processing third party data.

 

6.4 You may order extra Licensed Users, functions, modules, products or services listed at  www.castawayforecasting.com/product/pricing.php at any time by requesting these from Financier and paying additional charges or Licence Fees at Financier’s then current prices. Where additional Licensed Users, functions, products or services are ordered during a Licence Period, the applicable Licence Fee shall be payable in advance pro-rata for the remainder of the then-current Licence Period. The full amount of the Licence Fees in respect of such additional Licensed Users shall be payable for subsequent Renewal Licence Periods.

6.5 The Licence excludes installation, data conversion, on- site help & training and any other services not listed in this EULA. However, Financier may agree to provide certain additional services for additional cost. Please enquire of your Supporting Castaway Consultant for details.

6.6 Financier will accept payment by direct debit from your bank account or credit card (all Billing Types) and cheque (annual billing only). You are liable for the full amount of the Licence Fees for your current Licence Period, even if you have selected a monthly Billing Type. Subject to the remainder of this EULA, once paid, Licence Fees are not refundable except where refunds are mandatory under applicable law.

6.7 Financier will deliver a tax invoice to the email address or fax number stated on your Castaway User Agreement Form.

6.8 By signing the Castaway User Agreement Form, you authorise Financier to charge you the current applicable Licence Fees for the Initial Licence Period and any Renewal Licence Period for the number of Licensed Users and products specified on that Form and any additional Licensed Users or products added by you at a later date.

6.9 Licence Fees may be subject to change from time to time. If Financier changes the applicable Licence Fees during your current Licence Period, these changes will not apply to your existing Licences until the start of the next Renewal Licence Period. However, any additional products, services or rights for Licensed Users in respect of the Castaway Software purchased by you during your current Licence Period will be charged at Financier’s currently applicable prices specified at the time of purchase. The current applicable Licence Fees are posted on

www.castawayforecasting.com/product/pricing.php and you will also be notified of the applicable Licence Fees on each invoice.

 

6.10 You must notify Financier in writing immediately if there are any changes to the name, contact details and/or installed Computer for each Licensed User of the Castaway Software.

6.11 Upon 30 days’ written notice, during business hours, Financier may conduct an audit of your use of the Castaway Software. You agree to cooperate with Financier in the conduct of such an audit and provide reasonable assistance and access to information relevant to your use of the Castaway Software. You agree that Financier shall not be responsible for any of your costs incurred in co-operating with such audit.

6.12 If at any time you exceed the number of Licensed Users for which you have paid Licence Fees, you must immediately notify Financier and must pay Financier within 30 days the pro-rata amount of the applicable Licence Fees for each additional user for the then-current Licence Period from the date that user began using the Castaway Software. Failure to do so shall be a material breach of this EULA.

6.13 You acknowledge and agree that Financier may pay commissions and/or fees to any party who introduces or refers you to Financier or the Castaway Software, or who supports the Castaway Software.
